When material points are created than can be assigned and initial velocity or an initial angular momentum use the commands described below.

Setting Initial Velocity

In scripted input files, the initial velocities or set using parameters to the #Region|Region command. The velocities apply to all particles in the region.

In XML input files, the velocity attributes on the #Region|<Body> command can only be constants and they set a constant velocity to all particles in the region. To set different velocity or to use a
